Summary:
Upper Arlington City is home to two high schools serving very different student populations: Upper Arlington High School, a traditional grades 9–12 school with 1,908 students, and Upper Arlington Online Academy, a small online option serving grades 6–12 with just 47 students. Both belong to the Upper Arlington City district, which ranks 54th of 773 Ohio districts — the 93rd percentile — with 5 stars and a 97.4% graduation rate.
Upper Arlington High School is the clear academic standout, ranking in the top 5–6% of Ohio high schools in each of the last three years: 46th of 795 (94th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–26, 30th of 855 (96th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–25, and 34th of 864 (96th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–24. Its 2025–26 graduation rate of 98.1% is above the district's 97.4%, and all six reported End-of-Course subjects sit above the state average, led by American History at 96.7% and American Government at 95.2%. The main academic pressure point is Algebra I: at 72.0%, it beats the state's 61.6% but falls well short of the district's 90.5%, down from 84.6% the prior year. Geometry also slipped to 79.5%, below the district's 82.0%. Chronic absenteeism is 17.4%, well above the district's 9.0%.
Upper Arlington Online Academy offers a much lower student-teacher ratio of 11.7 versus 22.2, but its available outcomes are weaker. It ranked 413th of 855 (52nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–25, with an 81.8% graduation rate and 37.8% chronic absenteeism — more than four times the district's 9.0%. Only two 2024–25 test subjects are reported: Biology at 63.6% and English II at 63.6%, both far below district averages. Its free/reduced-lunch and spending figures are unknown, not zero, and its small enrollment makes percentages volatile.
